  • By Samm-Art Williams
    HHOOMMEE BY SAMM -ART WILLIAMS Directed by Ron OJ Parson November 11 - December 12, 2010 at Court Theatre CHARACTERS • Cephus Miles • Woman 2 • Pattie Mae Wells / Woman 1 STORY Originally produced by the legendary Negro Ensemble Company, Home centers on Cephus Miles, a farm boy in the small community of Crossroads, North Carolina who grows up in a society where opportunities are few and advancing up the economic and social ladder means leaving and (usually) never returning. After various interactions with the female members of his town, Cephus enters a family-sanctioned engagement with Pattie Mae, the prettiest and smartest young lady in Crossroads. When Pattie Mae leaves to go to college, Cephus counts on her promise to return to marry him, but feels humiliated when he learns that she has married a soon-to-be wealthy professional. In spite of his apparently loose morality, Cephus feels strongly about avoiding the Vietnamese War at all costs. Five years in prison as a draft resister leave him despondent, and when he gets out, he finds his farm has been sold for taxes. With all doors shut in Crossroads, he sets out for the big city to make his fortune. Lacking a high- school diploma, the best job he can get is loading and unloading trucks. The high life seems within reach until his prison record gets him fired. Sliding from welfare to the streets he hits rock bottom--but not for long. A mysterious benefactor has purchased his old farm and invites him to return to Crossroads. After 13 years away from the South, Cephus returns to discover numerous surprising changes, including the absence of segregated bathrooms.

    Douglas Turner Ward Archives at Emory University Emory University’s Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives and Rare Book Library (http://rose.library.emory.edu/index.html) which collects and connects stories of human experience, promotes access and learning, and offers opportunities for dialogue for all wise hearts who seek knowledge by preserving distinctive collections; fostering original research; bridging content and context; and engaging diverse communities through innovative outreach, programming, and exhibitions has obtained the archives of playwright Douglas Turner Ward, co- founder of the groundbreaking Negro Ensemble Company (NEC), which provided a platform and carved space for Black actors and playwrights in American theater. The Douglas Turner Ward visited the Emory campus in October as the Rose Library hosts the NEC’s “Legacy Leaders of Color,” currently celebrating 50 years of diversity in theater. The free event was open to the public and took place in White Hall; the event featured a screening of the Legacy Leaders video, appearances by NEC alumni and a panel discussion with Ward and producer, actor and NEC co-founder Robert Hooks. Emory’s Douglas Turner Ward Collection, circa 1957-2012 includes manuscript materials, correspondence and drafts of Ward’s creative output (38.75 linear feet, 6 oversized papers boxes and AV Masters: .25 linear feet which includes scripts, records of the Negro Ensemble Company, photographs, and printed material). 234 Africology: The Journal of Pan African Studies, vol.11, no.2, January 2018 The archive most notably contains correspondence with the poet and writer Amiri Baraka; the ground-breaking educator Jeanne Noble, who wrote to Ward in a response to his 1966 New York Times article; and Ward’s copy of “A Raisin in the Sun,” dated June 16, 1960.

Listen to me and remember this. That I’ll tell it to the hot, tell it to the cold, tell it to the young and tell it to the old.

First on radio, then on television, Petey Greene spoke to and for people who had often been voiceless. A two-time Emmy® Award winner, Greene overcame drug addiction and a sentence for armed robbery to become one of Washington, D.C.’s most prominent media figures. Speaking truth to power on his raw, uncensored radio and television shows, Greene talked about racism, poverty, religion, politics, sexuality and drug abuse. His guests ranged from office holders like Midge Costanza, a special assistant to President Jimmy Carter, to political consultant Donna Brazile to up-and-coming radio host Howard Stern, who appeared in black face.
